FINAL INFO for DU meet up, today, Sunday Sept 23, 6 PM. Tyler's Taproom. DurhamLast edited Sun Sep 23, 2012, 10:29 AM USA/ET - Edit history (2)
It is supposed to be kind of cool - but if it feels warm enough, will see if a table outside works...otherwise, ask at the front for the Craig party.....assuming we will get between 6-10 of us, will be there at the start (6 PM, or maybe a few min. earlier). I will put a further response.kick to this post once I get there to specify our location in the place.
Important information so we can get an idea of numbers! Thanks! This is the one - http://www.tylerstaproom.com/locations/durham/

I have no idea if it's still baseball season! But when there's a game, getting to American Tobacco Campus is tough.
Thanks for organizing. Will update sooner to the event. |

Why tyler's btw? It's not the coolest place in town. I get that it's right off 147, but go 1/2 mile further and there are much better places.. like the federal.
